Vinicius Jr, the forward for Real Madrid, is undoubtedly one of the most divisive players in the Spanish league.
The Brazilian forward often falls victim to insults or racist acts from supporters of opposing teams on the field.
While Vinicius isn’t the first player to suffer from these incidents, he sometimes contributes to escalating the situation.
In any case, that’s the view of a former Brazilian and black player who suggested that Vinicius is a young man who often engages in provocation.
According to former Sevilla midfielder Pitinho, his young compatriot sometimes goes overboard on the pitch, leading to outbursts.
“Vinicius is a player who left Flamengo, came to Spain, and received all the support in the world. But it all started with the issue of racism. I’ve been in Spain for 44 years and have never been called ‘black’.
But what happened is that, because he’s a provocateur… Well, things are a bit better now.
Vinicius is a bit of a clown; what he needs to do is play football,” said Pitinho.
This unexpected statement from the former Brazilian player is likely to cause a stir in the Brazilian press for at least a few days.
